  Perhaps we could take a lesson and bring it here - maybe if downvoting cost karma people would prefer to disagree by replying and to save the downvote for trolls. An added benefit would be to have a metamoderation Slashdot-style that gave back your karma if the metamoderator agreed the comment was a troll.

    Downvoting isn't always about trolls, its about pointless comments as well.

      Anyway, it should cost something to downvote. It seems people are all too ready to downvote comments they disagree with without much regard for engaging in a constructive discussion.
